"The man was walking along Coppice Row...... when he collided with a silver Vauxhall Corsa."
Surely the car collided with the man?

**** this is a tragic story. Something needs to be done, as cars are always speeding around this area. More speed restrictions and lighting I think!!
I think some drivers need to calm down, and stop rushing everywhere.

There is a path, so the lack of street lighting shouldn't have anything to do with this.

I've walked that 'path', several times in the dark, and I feel quite scared with the lack of lighting and the speed of the vehicles in both directions!

Some idiotic drivers use that road like a racetrack and of course the lack of lighting doesn't help.

well it's the local community that doesn't want street lighting.

and as i said, the lack of lighting shouldn't make a difference if the car is on the road, following the speed limit.

This is very tragic and sad, and also disappointing is the levity of the comments on this page, this is a very serious and terrible thing and not to be taken lightly. My condolences to his family.

But when people suggest chicanes and speed humps on this road and others where there are many road tragedies they get ridiculed. This road needs a chicane or a speed hump sleeping policemens or cardboard cut out like the have in Yugoslavia to control the mad speeding lunatic boy racers.

Having studied the photograph and noted where the car came to rest (indicated by the red markings) together with the staining on the road, it looks to me like the vehicle suffered some sort of mechanical failure!

I have just been told that apparently we have all jumped to the wrong conclusion here and the driver of the car was the innocent party, its a blessing the driver was not seriously hurt. the marks on the road do not show a mechanical failure but where the car swerved to try and avoid a person in the road.

I think folk would do well to stop jumping to conclusions on this tragic loss of a mans life and await the outcome of the inquest, unless you were a witness to this accident you are sure to be misinformed and just making gossip
